The Bay area seems to be the center of U.S. sports universe with San Jose in the Stanley Cup Finals, Golden State in the NBA finals and our plucky Twins in the middle of a three day stint in Oakland. What is a discerning Bay denizen going to do? Well at least for tonight the Twins-Athletics have the attention all to themselves. Even better, Byron Buxton is back and here’s some Gleeman if you are so inclined. Tyler Duffy brings his 2-3 record against someone called Eric Surkamp and his 6.55 ERA to match his 0-3 record. Game time is 9:05p Central so you have time to get the young ones in bed before settling down.

Yesterday I got cut four hours early, as we were staffed to the gills and everyone was outside grilling and drinking. Hope you all enjoyed the holiday.

Jason Wheeler had another fine start. It's well past time for Randy LeBlanc to move up. Twins affiliates "sweep", although half their teams didn't play.
